Just about everyone has already written one of these. Mine are called "ask" and "please". My "ask" has a memory though, since I often needed to ask followup questions:

I have a local version of ask that works with ollama: https://github.com/pmarreck/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/ask_loc...
And here is "please" as in "please rename blahblahblah in this directory to blahblah": https://github.com/pmarreck/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/please
Since we're sharing, I have a "claude" command that lets me get quick answers but also saves the conversation and outputs an identifier so in the rare case I want a follow-up, I can ask a question with the ID to continue the conversation.

Neat idea! Although as an identifier, instead of a hash, I'd probably ask it to summarize the conversation into 3 to 7 underscore-separated words and use that as the identifier (plus maybe a timestamp), since a list of them will more easily tell you which is relevant
I can type qq faster than you can type ask. Even more so with qa vs please ;)
Length of the binaries name doesn't really matter though as one easily can "alias please=p"
yeah I already aliased ask to "a" and please to "p" lol
